PRESIDENT G 1S - IPLOWATE CORPS Brilliant Reception Attended By More Than 2,000 at White House. The President and Mrs. Coolidge re- | sides. ceived the 54 representatives of foreign | dangles a long sword. countrics and their families and suites 2t the White House last night, the event being the annual reception to the diplomatic corps. In addition to the diplomats, others from official and resident society to the number of more than two thousand were guests. The scene was one of unsurpassed | beauty and interest, especial zest being given by the presence of the Vice-pres- ident-elect, Senator Charles Curtis, and his_sister, Mrs. Edward Everett Gann, ) | Great Britain and dean of the diploma- | tic corps, accompanied by Lady Isabella | Howard and the members of their suite, | with their wives, were the first to received after the reception opened. The | President’s military aide, Col. Osmun Latrobe, and his naval aide, Capt. Wil- son Brovm, alternated in making the introductions. While all of the court uniforms are | exceedingly handsome, those of the for- | eign military and naval attaches far i outshine those of our service. Two uni-| forms that formed a veritable blaze ofi color, were those of the Minister cf( Denmark, Mr. Constantin Brun, and | that of the Minister of Siam, Lieut. Gen. | Phya Vijitavongs. . The former wears a coat of rich scarlet with many decora- tions crossing his breast and white doe- skin trousers with gold stripes down the He carries his helmet and ‘The Minister of Siam was much more conspicuous, in _his coat of white show- | ing strong touches of blue and red and gold. HIS trousers are of blue and he wears a mushroom hat of white material with tall plumage in red and white. | The Ambassador of Belgium and the | Spanish Ambassador both wear a par-| ticularly rich court dress, and the pan- Americans are generous in the use of gold braid. * Costumes of Rare Beauty. and a constant buzz of conversation anent the recent election. Ambassadors and ministers have hur- risd to Washington from their own | countries to receive this honor from | the President and there was none of | the merely passive interest shown on such occasions during the last days of | an administration. Several of the Am- | bassadors, like the Ambassador of Ger- many, the Ambassador of Argentina and the Ambassador of Japan, made their debuts last evening, though Mr. Debu- «chi, the Ambassador of Japan, had been eived there, but with lesser rank, some years ago. For Mme. Debuchi, it vas her introduction to society in gen- eral. Traditions Are Followed. All of the stately traditions of such a reception were carried out, there being the fanfare of trumpets to an- nounce tbe arrival of the President and Mrs. Coolidge and the cabinet at the head of the state stairway and “Hail to the Chief” as they reached the red corridor on their way to the blue room. ‘The most striking feature of the state receptions is the presence of the Marine Band. with the musicians in their scar- 1ot coats stationed in the large marble entrance hall. | Following the President and Mrs. | Coolidge were the Secrel of State ond Mrs. Kellogg, the Secrstary of the ‘Treasury, Mr. Mellon, who escorted Mrs. Harry S.

Here were pink roses, a decoration which has scarcely varied ic 50 vears. Quite the most brilliant scene in th mansion, next to the assemblage in the blue room is that in the State dining room, where every member of the corps awalts the arrival of the President and his lady to receive them. There th: uniforms and decorations of the men and the costumes and jewels of the fwomen are seen to best advantage.
